Overview
An initial public offering is a significant milestone requiring careful coordination across legal, regulatory, corporate and commercial considerations.
We advise issuers, underwriters, financial advisers, substantial shareholders and other participants throughout the IPO lifecycle in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from initial assessment and readiness through regulatory approval and listing.
Our experience includes:
- IPO readiness assessments and pre-IPO restructuring
- Carve-outs, demergers and corporate reorganisations
- Legal due diligence
- Prospectus preparation and review
- Capital Market Authority (CMA) submissions and regulatory filings
- Saudi Exchange listing requirements
- Underwriting and lead manager agreements
- Shareholder and transaction documentation
- Advice to underwriters and financial institutions
- Structuring relationships among issuers, underwriters, receiving banks and other transaction participants
We work closely with our corporate, capital markets, finance, regulatory and disputes teams to address the legal and commercial considerations arising throughout the IPO process and support clients through to successful completion and listing.
